Guided Tour of the Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel｜Italy

The Vatican Museums are among the world’s most visited museums. With over 7 kilometers of galleries, these museums are extraordinarily rich in works of art.

Let your guide bring the works of art to life at the Pinecone Courtyard, the Hall of Maps, the Gallery of Tapestries, and the Gallery of Candelabra. Learn about the figures responsible for these works and their history along the way.

Visit the Belvedere Courtyard, and see the ancient statue of "Laocoön" in the Octagonal. Admire some of the greatest masterpieces of classical antiquity, and travel through the centuries in the Etruscan and Egyptian Museums. Explore non-European civilizations in the Ethnological Museum, and more.

Later, visit the magnificent Sistine Chapel. As incredible as Michelangelo's work is, it must have been back-breaking—a fact you'll understand all the better after you learn what it takes to create a fresco.
